Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Here is info that several of you requested: The conference was in January, but see below for contact info of organizers. NMSU offers Jan. 20 workshop on Chinese medicinal herbs Herb growers and retailers can learn about producing and selling Chinese medicinal herbs during a free workshop Jan. 20 in Santa Fe. NMSUís Sustainable Agriculture Science Center began testing two dozen Chinese varieties in spring 2004, such as Chinese vetch, angelica sinensis, Chinese wolfberry, Chinese licorice and the ginseng substitute Dang Shen. The research is part of a national project to test Chinese herb production in varying climates around the country and to create business networks that help growers and retailers sell directly to Oriental medicine practitioners. Workshop presenters will discuss growing techniques and herb varieties, solar herb drying, judging herb quality by taste and smell, retail networks in states such as West Virginia and California, and marketing opportunities in New Mexico. The workshop runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds at 3229 Rodeo Road.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I forward this from Jean Giblette: Dear Ann, The CHA people should know this event was part of the 2004 Medicinal Herb Consortium (MHC) project, which did receive publicity in Acupuncture Today and other venues. In fact the New Mexico workshop was a presentation by the entire MHC steering committee, and was very successful. About fifty people attended, about half practitioners and half growers, and we had a good dialogue. Also the steering committee got 40 minutes of airtime on Santa Fe public radio KSFR and an article in the Albuquerque Journal as a result of the workshop. The MHC has a lot of work to do, including putting up a website, to reinforce its connection to practitioners. We have a grown-to-order system, which means the practitioners have to order in advance. The ball is really in the practitioners' court right now, but growers and practitioners together can make this long-time dream a reality in the next few years. Would you please forward this, including the attached list, on to the CHA people? Thanks, Jean Jean Giblette, Director HIGH FALLS GARDENS Box 125 Philmont NY 12565 USA 518-672-7365 hfg - snakeoil.works Jean Giblette Wednesday, February 23, 2005 1:09 AM Fw: growing Chinese herbs in America Hi Jean, I rec'd this on the CHA list.
